A Morning Prayer for Today

a prayer

 

Heavenly Father,

I adore you. I don’t deserve your love.
I adore you. I don’t deserve your attention.
I adore you. I don’t deserve your notice.
I adore you. I don’t deserve any good… any ease… anything of value.
I adore you.

Forgive me Father… I am depraved. My nature is to rebel. My nature is to self serve. My nature is to please me.

Thank you for loving me… forgiving me… not leaving me alone.

Thank you for your sacrifice… my sin… actually paid for… not figuratively… not as a model… my sin actually paid for. Thank you Jesus.

Lead me today.  Today I am submitting to your leading.

Give me love and the opportunity to show it to… share it with others today.

Teach me today.  I am looking for your wisdom.  I will pause and think about your Word.  I will compare my life not to others about me but to your Word alone.  I will evaluate my thoughts and consider my ways.  I will then choose to seek you first in all things.

Spirit, give me the wisdom to know what to do and the courage to do it.

This is humbly pray… so be it.
